— Developed a recycling process for paper-based adhesive label matrix waste from zero baseline, running 25+ structured trials to deliver a fully validated, reproducible process ready for industrial scale-up evaluation — Increased solvent recovery from ~50% to 95% by redesigning the recovery loop and tightening process controls. The single change that made the process economically viable for scale-up — Improved material yield by 10% (relative, from ~50% to 60%) through systematic parameter optimization, esta

— Identified manual preprocessing as the primary throughput bottleneck for waste matrix handling; defined full technical requirements for mechanical size-reduction systems to eliminate it — Evaluated 23 national and international equipment manufacturers across performance, specifications, and cost, compressing what would typically be a multi-month procurement process into a single internship cycle — Delivered ~€74,000 in CAPEX savings by identifying a technically equivalent lower-cost supplier through rigor

— Conducted spark plasma sintering (SPS) experiments for the development of composite materials — Performed microstructural characterization and wear analysis to evaluate material performance — Analysed friction and wear behaviour under oscillating conditions — Documented and structured experimental procedures to ensure reproducibility and data reliability
